-- Posted by airemaye at 5:05 pm on June 4, 2008 Pleas to leave lost Amazon tribe alone I really hope those people can still sleep at night after seeing a plane for (presumably) the first time. I can't even imagine what it must be like for them. It's crazy to think about, isn't it? There is such wonderful diversity in this world. We're here, using the internet, listening to our iPods, driving our cars, complaining about gas prices, worried about the war, concerned about the next president, raised by mass media. And somewhere out there there are human beings who have never been exposed to any of that stuff. They live perfectly happily right where they are, they don't need any modern technology. They don't know what a nuclear bomb is, they've never heard of the Holocaust, or machine guns, or total war, or global warming. They're innocent, in a way. Uncorrupted by the worries and trials of the modern world. If they don't know, why tell them? Can't just one group of people be spared? They're kind of lucky, I guess, that they have groups of people on their side today. Just a few decades ago, they wouldn't have stood a chance. Better now than 50 years ago. Now , at least, we have some sort of recognition that we've messed up too much in the past with the affairs of indigenous peoples, and we feel guilty about that. So we have more respect for people like this tribe and preserving their way of life. Maybe. We'll see. Isn't the world's diversity wonderful? -- Posted by LudovicoTechnique at 5:06 pm on June 4, 2008 Tis wonderful. I almost envy them. -- Posted by Latin Muscle at 5:07 pm on June 4, 2008 OLD NEWS.

Steal land. -- Posted by nikki at 2:17 am on June 5, 2008 They need to be left alone. We don't need to have control over everything - they're happy and causing nobody any harm, leave them be. -- Posted by allsmiles at 5:51 am on June 6, 2008 I bet we fuck up their entire way of life.
